«Glorious Epic»

"Mikis Theodorakis" Theatre

Glorious Epic is a bold dance performance that explores the tension between heroism and vulnerability - a poetic allegory tracing the decline of old heroes and a transition from power to fragility.

At its core, two bodies grapple with passions, desires, and thoughts, interacting dynamically to reveal the strength of collectivity. Their movement shifts between conflict and harmony, transforming personal struggle into moments of shared beauty.

The performance challenges conventional norms, hierarchies, and preconceptions of heroism, foregrounding the delicate - and at the same time epic - beauty found in vulnerability, relationality, and often overlooked details of life.

Glorious Epic reflects on the power and transformative potential of collective presence, on and off stage.
